Replace the cap screw.
3.2 Main Burner System Adjustment
For the main burners to operate the gas supply valve must be open and the thermostat must be turned
on. For models with electric controls, the main power switch must be on. The main burners receive gas
from the main gas supply through the thermostatically controlled valve. When the thermostat is turned up
to a setting higher than the temperature of the oil in the tank, the gas control valve opens.
The main burner pressure must be adjusted to deliver optimum flame. Refer to the following procedure to
adjust the main burners.
CAUTION
Before proceeding any further, fill the tank with WATER. Water is used for the installation
adjustments because the temperature will never exceed 212°F (100°C), thereby allowing plenty of
adjustment time. Never let the water level go below the MIN LEVEL mark stamped on the tank
.
a.
Ensure that the main gas valve is shut off; remove the manifold pressure tap plug and
connect an accurate pressure gauge having a range from 0 to 16 “ w.c. in 0.1”
increments (0 to 4 kPa in .025 kPa increments) or manometer with similar resolution.
b.
Turn on this and all appliances connected to the
gas supply line and light their main burners. The
pressure reading of the installed pressure gauge
should not drop from the required installation
pressure. Any loss of pressure indicates
inadequate supply line installation, which will cause
poor performance of all appliances during peak
usage.
c.
The installed pressure gauge should be the same,
±0.1” w.c. (.025 kPa), as that marked on the data
plate on the inside door of the appliance. If the
pressure is correct, go to step e, if it is not, adjust
the pressure as outlined in step d.
d.
To adjust the pressure, remove the regulator adjustment screw cap on the gas valve and, with
a flat head screwdriver, adjust the regulator screw until the proper burner pressure is reached.
Turning the screw clockwise will increase the burner pressure. Turning the screw
counterclockwise will decrease the burner pressure.
e.
When the pressure is correct, replace the regulator adjustment screw cover.
f.
Turn off the ALL appliances, shut the main gas valve to your appliance and remove the
pressure gauge. Apply pipe joint compound to the manifold pressure tap plug and reinstall it.
3.3 Initial
Cleaning
When your appliance is shipped, many of its parts are covered with a thin coat of shortening/oil for protection.
Before the appliance is ready for cooking it must be cleaned. This will remove the shortening/oil coating and any
foreign matter that may have accumulated during storage and shipment. Refer to the following procedure to
clean the appliance.
a.
Fill the tank with water. Light the pilot, turn the appliance on and set the thermostat to
200°F (93°C).
b.
Allow the appliance to heat for 15 minutes. Add cleaner to the water, stirring with the cleaning
brush to ensure that the cleaner dissolves thoroughly.
